]]>LINCOLN, Neb. – Riverview Marina State Recreation Area (SRA) in Otoe County is temporarily closed to the public.

Rising water levels in the Missouri River led Nebraska Game and Parks Commission staff to close the area Tuesday. Riverview Marina SRA is adjacent to the Missouri River and offers river access.

The closure includes campgrounds and the boat dock.

Precautions are being taken in northeastern Nebraska as river levels rise. No park areas have been closed, but parks staff have moved the boat docks at Pelican Point SRA in Burt County in anticipation of high Missouri River flows.

In addition, signs have been posted at Dead Timber SRA in Dodge County warning visitors of the potential for Elkhorn River flooding in the area.

]]>LINCOLN – Heavy spring rains have led to soggy conditions at three state recreation areas in Nebraska.

Louisville, Two Rivers and Dead Timber state recreation areas, all of which are adjacent to rivers, have all been affected by high water levels. Users should be cautioned that access to area roads, campgrounds, toilets and other facilities could be limited. Water levels can rise and fall quickly, and anyone planning to visit one of these areas – or any state park or recreation area situated on a river – should call the park to check conditions prior to their visit. Park contact information can be found at OutdoorNebraska.org.

It is common for park areas adjacent to lakes and rivers to see some standing water early in the spring and after heavy rains. Sometimes parts of park areas may close until waters recede. Usually, these closures are brief.

Park visitors are urged not to walk or drive through standing water, as hazards hidden by turbid water may be present.
